Girls Town is a 1996 movie debut by Jim Mckay that centers on the lives of three high-school aged women after the suicide of a friend. The Girls Town soundtrack was released on August 20, 1996 by Mercury Records.
Four women, Patti, Emma, Angela, and Nicki are completing their last year of high school. Unfortunately for the group, one of their own, Nicki, unexpectedly commits suicide. The three remaining women, upon finding out that Nicki had been raped before she died, begin to talk to each other about the ways in which they are oppressed by the men in their lives. They begin to fight together, taking revenge on Emma's rapist, Patti's abusive ex-boyfriend, and finally, Nicki's rapist.
